Yeah, well I’ve been around since their Fly! II days and this unequivocally means that something is definitely, maybe, probably, for sure - but, possibly not… happening. Stand by for updates.

I went with Jetline Systems back in 2020, mostly because there was a huge shortage (read: scalping) on 3xxx video cards and because I knew I wanted to build a system dedicated only to flightsim and those kind of shops were the only way to get your hands on a video card without paying 3x for it. I have always been super happy with what they shipped me. I will admit, I did have a hiccup with them. I kept getting CTD's and their response was pretty much "its a new platform, we're seeing that all over the place", and of course, they weren't wrong about that. However, after doing a lot of research on my own, I finally discovered it was simply a setting in BIOS. I can't remember exactly what it was, but once I un-ticked a box, I never had a CTD again. I was slightly annoyed that that one simple trick fixed everything and they seemingly didn't know about it. However, my experience was great and they really were great to work with. Long story short, if you're going to go with a pre-built for flightsim, look into companies that do that exclusively and stay away from Alienware. I've read some stories about their overpriced builds.

Excited about the A400M. That’s one beautiful plane. I wonder how high the fidelity will be up front in the cockpit. It’s got some pretty advanced avionics and HUD’s. Here’s to hoping that they do it some service and it’s as close as possible.

How did they lie through their teeth? I’m not challenging you or saying they didn’t, just curious.

You’re joking…right?

…one of the strangest comments I’ve read on any aviation related forum in a long, long time. You couldn’t be further from the truth if you tried. I mean…what!?

Oh man, me too! Asobo has done a lot of great stuff but there are few decisions they made thats a real head-scratcher. Having a toolbar popup every time you move your mouse is definitely one of them.

Your upcoming A380 looks absolutely incredible. Thank you for all that you guys bring to the community!

We're gonna need a lot more info. What plane are you using. What is the flight plan. What external auto pilot applications are you using. It's going to be almost impossible to identify the issue with the amount of information you've shared.

Yeah, the Longitude is one of the best default airplanes in any sim...ever. It just works. The avionics are perfect. It really is a great plane and I've really enjoyed flying it for the last year or so, especially after the WT treatment and the navigraph charts implementation.

How many hours do you have on a real PC-12? Also, are you talking about the Discord “consultant pilots” that say the PC-12 flies ok? If you’ve flown real planes, as you claim, you’d likely understand that this plane, as it flies in MSFS, is straight-up wonky on approach. You don’t have to have hours in the real plane to know that it’s behaving strange — as in general flight characteristics.

No. No. Not at all. Have you flown airplanes in real life? The flight model on this plane is an absolute disaster. I've never flown a PC-12 before, but I have flown other planes and there is something really off about this flight model on approach. It's like trying to balance an elephant on 2" steel ball.

Imagine being this upset over a make-believe airplane parking brake and then blaming the developer for it. As someone else mentioned, this forum can be pretty entertaining at times.

How many of these do we need? Come on, what we really need is an A320. Ugh.

When I say PMDG hasn’t innovated in years, this is what I’m talking about. And this is freeware. Not to take the spotlight off of FBW and the awesome work they are doing, but as others have noted, THIS is how you do a sneak peek!! You’d think a company as big as PMDG would have better marketing than a team of die-hard hobbyist, working for free just to bring the community something truly new and fresh. Bravo to FBW. This is absolutely stunning and such a huge and selfless accomplishment! I’ll definitely be donating more after seeing this awesome footage!

Yeah, I’m with you. For years, I rarely had CTD’s. However with this most recent build, I’ve had 3 or 4, which is a lot when you’ve rarely had one since 2020. I thought it was the G3X, because the first few were when I was flying the Cub, but then I had one with the Longitude. I reported it to MS. But, this is why we have beta programs, so I’m not upset. Just hopeful they’ll get it resolved before it’s released.

I'm just not convinced it will be a new aircraft. PMDG is really good at recycling products. I can't even remember the last time they introduced a totally new airplane. To me, it seems their business model is redoing planes they've already done for a each new platform. It would blow my mind if they came out said they were doing a 727, or a Falcon, or any other totally new plane. But, I'm almost confident enough to put money on it that it won't be a plane they haven't done before. PMDG's innovating days are behind them.

This G3X update is probably one of my favorites and one I’ve been waiting for since 2020 released. I really like the Carbon Cub, but its avionics always kills it for me. Really looking forward to this one. WT for the win, once again. Oh, now I’m rhyming.

I thought that you could already import flight plans from Navigraph?

They’ve had this feature on their planes in other platforms. I thought it would look better in the MSFS engine though, although he stated they’re still working on it.

I’ll speak for myself but this is kind of a strange take. Can’t someone be critical and wish a certain product could be better and improved? I’ve been buying their products for literally decades. When things are over-promised with a side of arrogance, it becomes annoying. Especially when there are freelance developers bringing better features to the community. If PMDG and their forums weren’t so toxic, I would have an easier time forgetting that they haven’t kept promises, haven’t innovated and overall are just an exhausting company to continue to support.

Fenix, Maddog, BAe-146, and the HJet would like to have a word with you.

Rob, is that you?

I’ll wager a friendly bet it’s not a 787. Most of the XBOX folks are happy with their Working Title / Asobo 787. Also, Coc, sorry Kok said it was an entirely new line. It could be anything, but why would PMDG throw a ton of money at a 787 when WT/AS has already given a large portion of the market a viable 787?
